It Is urged in effect that if the president fails to appoint those applicants for office who opposed him in the pre-convention campaign, such a policy will amount to proscription against all who favored an other candidate. Moreover, it is said that the ap pointment of original Wilson supporters to office in preference to those who opposed him, will amount to a sort of party reprisal, and that such action by the president would lead to party destruction. It Is difficult to discuss with patience such utter nonesense as this, and it is surprising indeed that some newspapers seem to purposely misrepresent the attitude of the president in respect to those who are seeking appointment to office at his hands. The Journal has no greater authority to speak for the president than other newspapers and we do not attempt to indicate his intentions further than as those intentions have been officially given out. In the light of the president’s declaration, it is im possible to fairly attribute to him any such purpose as some of the newspapers are indicating. The president has announced in positive and unequivocal terms that there is to be no proscription against those who happened to support other candidates. Evei) if no such announcement had been made, such a policy would be foolish and narrow, and we do not believe Mr. Wilson is capable of indulging in such folly. ■ , The fact that there is to he no proscription, how ever, does not mean that all of the intermittent and chronic office seekers in Georgia and elsewhere are to be rewarded with the appointments which they seek. » There is a policy o- proscription and we fancy it will be rigidly adhered to. That policy is based not upon political support or opposition, hut upon qualification and merit. If an applicant seeks appointment to office, the question of whether he was a Wilson man or an anti-Wilson man previous to the Baltimore convention will not be considered. Indeed, it is doubtful if the president knows or has given the slightest thought to the question of the personal attitude of a single appli cant towards him in the convention. If he happens to know that any of these applicants opposed him or were, favorable to his nomination, this knowledge will have not-even the slightest hearing upon his action. The question, and the sole question to he consid ered by the president and the members of his cab inet in the selection of officials, as publicly stated, is fitness for office. This, of course, involves qualifi cation and merit. ’ It is hardly to be expected that those who by reason of their professional relation to trade combi nations in violation of law have disqualified them selves for official position will he sought out by the president and appointed, when others of equal merit and without such disqualification are< candidates. Neither is it likely that those who belong to the “give ’em hell” variety of. politicians, whose chief claim to distinction in the campaign was the circula tion of infamous and libellous slanders against the personal character of the president will be selected as persons eminently qualified for official position. Such aspirants can hardly be considered as qualified for office because appointees sould he in sympathy, to a reasonable extent at least, with the policies of the administration. No man can have the proper sympathetic relation to the administration who notoriously and conspicuously led in the warfare that was waged against the president here in Georgia. Refusal - , therefore, to even consider such appli cants cannot, with even a semblance of fairness, be claimed as proscription by the president. The true statement of the matter lies in the fact that such applicants are utterly and totally disqual ified for holding any office under the present admin istration because their attitude is completely out of harmony and sympathy with the policies of the ad ministration. The element of personal resentment,’ we are quite Sure, does not and cannot enter into the considera tion of such matters. But the elements of fitness and qualification of all office seekers enter deeply into the consideration, and in fact constitute the abso lute and sole test of the right of such applicants to hold official position. Any other rule would be most unfair to all appli cants. If one who is in every way qualified must be displaced for one who is wholly disqualified because forsooth the charge of proscription might be, made such appointments would place a premium upon un fitness. It would amount to punishdient for polit ical expediency of those who in all respects fulfill the requirements for official position, and a reward for those who are without such qualifications. The president, we imagine, will adhere closely to the plan that he has already indicated, of basing his selections upon fitness for office. This is the only intelligent and just plan that can be pursued, and under this plan no applicant will be treated un justly. The sole question to be determined is fitness. If the candidate measures up to the proper qual ifications, he will be appointed without reference to whether he was Wilson or anti-Wilson in the early stages of the campaign. If he does not measure up to these requirements, he will not receive the appoint ment he desires even though he may have been *\ leader among the Wilson advocates. But we repeat that no man who is utterly out of harmony with the administration, whether by reason of professional or political affiliations, can possibly nieasure up to that degree of fitness which is to be the test. And no man, though he may be otherwise qualified, who has by his conduct demonstrated that he is utterly out of harmony and sympathy with the administration’s policies has a right to expect even slight consideration at the hands of the president. Railroads As Developers Of Farming Interests. The fact that industrial and commercial interests are lending their active support to the State’s agri cultural development is one of the most cheering omens of Georgia’s progress. Business leaders realize that after all the soil is the basis of com mon prosperity; that good crops mean good times, that well conducted farms mean widespread thrift and the quickening of all the springs of enterprise. Hence we find today that chambers of commerce, hoards of trade, hankers’ associations, manufactur ers and railroads are all interesting themselves in the cause of progressive and scientific agriculture. The Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic railroad fur nishes a recent instance in point. The passenger de partment of this transportation company has just offered a number of inviting prizes to stimulate the work of the hoys’ corn clubs that they organized in its territory. Most of the prizes consist of free scholarships to the State College of Agriculture, but there are others In the form of farm implements, live stock, money and books on farming. These prizes will quicken the interest and ambition of hundreds of boys. They will prove a definite incen tive to good farming; and the benefits .that will ac crue to the various counties will return in abund ance to the railroad itself. It is very gratifying to see that the railroads of Georgia and of the South are awakening to their duty and their opportunity in this connection. They have at their disposal effective and far-reaching means for upbuilding the territory they traverse and for attracting desirable settlers to the South’s idle lands. Their activity in this field of enterprise is hpartily to be commended. A Story-^and Its Moral To the State of Georgia. In a Georgia city there lived not long ago a widow and her two children—a hoy of sixteen and his sister, two years younger. The mother, forced to work for bread, was kept from home and the children, thus neglected in their tormative years, fell prey to wayward tendencies. The boy, upon his first appearance in court, was sent to a reformatory where he is being educated in a useful trade and whence he will come forth equipped for good and useful citizenship. But the girl’s story is trag ically different. She was first expelled from school. A few weeks later she was arrested one night in evil company and on .being convicted was given the alternative of paying a fine of twenty-five dollars or of going to the stockade among calloused criminals. The fine was paid from her mother’s scant earnings but the girl remained without protection or guid ance; and after several other offenses, she was sept to a town some forty miles away where, it was ex pected, she would find a home among relatives. It so fell out, however, that when she arrived her kip had moved away. And now, for the lack of timely, intelligent help, for the lack of a haven which the State should provide, this blossoming life is swept utterly and, perhaps, hopelessly adrift. This story is but one among hundreds that con- tinualy cry out to the heart and conscience of this commonwealth. Surely, the State of Georgia will no longer withhold the hand of guidance and rescue from such appeals. We have provided for the train ing of wayward boys, and every dollar thus invested is yielding abundant returns; but the State has no institution whatsoever for the aid or reform of the wayward girl. By this type of girl, is not meant the incorrigible outcast but one whose moral sense has weakened either through an unwholesome environment or lack of home training or some neg lected defect, one whose life needs only to be nur tured and given the right soil to grow in, in order thpt it may be good and useful. A movement is now afoot, led by the Atlanta branch of the oouthern Association of College Women and heartily indorsed by court officials and thoughtful citizens throughout the State, to secure at the next session of the Legislature the enactment of a bill providing for the establishment of a re form school for such girls. • A worthier endeavor could not be conceived. It u earnestly to be hoped that the Geenral Assembly will respond to this appeal, not simply as a matter of sentiment hut for the sake of the State’s social wel fare, for the sake of social justice and humanity. Vital Statistics. A movement to establish a statewide system of vital statistics for Georgia will he started by the Ninth District Medical Society at its ipeeting this month in Gainesville. Pew enterprises could hear more directly on the State’s social and sanitary progress. Not only physicians but the public gener ally should support this timely undertaking to the end that it may be favorably received and acted upon at the next session of the Legislature. Complete and authentic records on births, deaths, marriages and other subjects included in the general term’ of “vital statistics” should be 'kept by every county and compiled by a State bureau. Until this is done, it will be impossiole for health reforms or social reforms to proceed upon a thor oughly intelligent and effective basis. Before we can know where to turn or in what direction to move, we must know definitely where we are. There are divers problems which cannot be solved or approached except through the aid of vital statistics. Georgia is now almost entirely without this means of information and guidance. The deficiency should be supplied. Woman likes to exercise her sense of humor when the joke is on some man. A male never realizes how insignificant he is until he attends a suffragette meeting. Europe’s Unbalanced Power. With a settlement of the Balkan war at hand, the composure and restraint which Europe has shown during that conflict is perceptibly shaken. When fighting in the peninsula began, there was wide spread anxiety that the larger Powers would he drawn into the struggle. That fear has been belied but it is now followed by an equally grave appre hension concerning the international balance of power, which the result of the Balkan war will seriously menace, if it does not upset. ■ So long as Turkey, an unaggressive and almost impotent government, held the key to southeastern Europe, there was no occasion for alarm among the greater nations. The Turkish regime, barbarous though it was, served to allay or at least to keep quiescent the suspicions and jealousies of the large Powers. But when Turkey falls, as undoubtedly she will, and her territory is given to more ambi tious hands, when the forceful Balkan States, with their Slav lineage and sympathy, supplant the weak Moslem rule, then the latent jealousies and sus picions will break out anew. The Balkan allies have succeeded against all ex pectation in merging their individual differences and interests. They now constitute what is a confed eracy in effect and what may become a confederacy in name and continuous purpose. “A new Slav power,” as the New York Sun remarks, “arises in the southeastern corner of Europe, strengthening the hands of Russia and weakening appreciably the influence of Austria-Hungary. Thus the Triple Al liance and the Triple Entente no longer hold the scales of power in Europe evenly balanced; the weight has gone down on the side of the Entente.” Hence we find Germany attempting to raise some two hundred and fifty million dollars for military purposes and to increase its army to a peace footing of eight hundred thousand men. France, as a coun ter-move, has lengthened the term of required mil itary service from two years to three and is prepar ing to increase its army to seven hundred and fifty thousand. England is rather complacent over the situation. Germany, in view of its large army ex penditures, has slackened its navy program, so that the English maritime power will remain supreme and unchallenged. Russia is apparently in an ag gressive mood. Austria-Hungary is awake to its threatened influence. The entire continent is in a temper of uncertainty and a buzz of preparation for the dubious future. That there will he any open break or disturbance among the powers, however, is not to be predicted. It may be that the Balkan problem which has been evaded so long will prove easier in its solution than seemed ppssible. If the nations have preserved peace through the trying period of the war against Turkey, when all outward circumstances seemed to threaten an upheaval, they should be able to do so after th,e Balkan conflict is over. The very seriousness of the situation will make for prudent counsel. It is an interesting and rather unexpected fact that the relationships between Eng land and Germany have grown more amicable dur ing the progress of the Balkan war than they have been for years past. Utilizing the Canal. Mr. John Barrett, director general of the Pan- American Union sounds a timely note of admoni tion when he declares that in their pride and satis faction over having built the Panama canal the peo ple of *he United States sould not overlook or defer the practical steps necessary to utilize it to their full advantage when it is completed. The end of the Government’s task in constructing this great water way will mark the begining of the individual city’s and merchant’s and manufacturer’s task in turning it to definite commercial account. The Panama canal is the greatest engineering achievement in the world’s history. It is one of the wonders of civilization. Its potential influence upon trade and development is almost illimitable. Into its construction have gone some four hundred mil lion dolars and a priceless store of energy and genius. It stands as the greatest single tribute to the creative power of this nation. These, however, are general and obvious truths. The matter of particular importance is this: What will the canal mean to the country’s practical inter ests? What will it mean to the industry and com merce of our cities? What will it mean to the South which stands on the very threshold of the new trade era that will be ushered in? These are questions which the Government can not answer. They must be answered by individual enterprise and initiative. We must make ready for the opening of the canal if we are to reap its bene fits. We must follow the example of European in terests that have been astir for several years past, building ships, studying the needs and tastes of South American markets, cultivating the good will of South American trade. It is gratifying to know that a movement to this end has been inaugurated in the Southern Panama Canal Conference, which was formed last autumn at a meeting of Southern business men in Atlanta. It is through such efforts that the canal will become a practical and contin uous benefit as well as a marvelous achievement. The Georgia Drainage Congress The annual meeting of the Georgia Drainage Congress which is to be held at Savannah next April the second, merits and will doubtless receive the en tire State’s cordial interest. The reclamation of swamp and overflow lands is no longer a matter of scientific theory or of merely individual concern in this commonwealth; it involves the practical wel fare of all the people. It has, been demonstrated that these lands can he converted from useless and disease-breeding wastes into productive farms. It has been proved that they can he made to yield the State’s treasury a handsome tax revenue. Indeed, the reclamation movement is fairly under way and its profitable results are already apparent. It re mains for the Legislature to encourage and support this good work, in order that its full benefits may follow. One of the purposes of the Drainage Congress is to secure more adequate laws to this, effect. Several seasons ago, the General Assembly authorized the in corporation of drainage districts. That was a prac tical step in the right direction and it has enabled local enterprise to accomplish gratifying results. A number of Georgia counties have undertaken the drainage of their low river lands or swamp lands. Thousands of acres are being transformed from ma larial marshes into fertile, hibitable soil. It is important that every possible encourage ment be given this progressive and constructive cause. The incoming Legislature can render no serv ice more substantial than to amplify and perfect drainage laws and to place the organized resources of the State behind this useful endeavor. It is to be hoped that the approaching congress will be largely attended and that its plans will be wholly successful. The Theater and Morals By Dr. Frank Crane There are a good many people yet who think that an actor is usually a man of loose morals. And there is no do.ubt that conditions of life behind the scenes are not as a rhle con ducive to the development>of the best qualities of character. The reason of this is a peculiar and most human one. The por tion of society that calls itself “the best” (those organized in churches for the moral uplift of mankind) unfortunately fell into the grievous error of stigma tizing as bad a calling which in itself is just as good as selling dry goods and , might be made just as helpful as preaching. Get to the botttom of the mat ter and you will admit, if you be clear-minded, that acting is one of the natural functions of men and women. It is the first pro fession of every child. The baby’s first occupation is “playing” mother or father or grocer or teamster or preacher. Acting ought to be as honorable as preaching or writing. It is a normal form of the interpretation of life. How did it come to have a bad name? Simply be cause it gives pleasure. I do not like to say any hard words i against Puritanism, because we owe to it many a debt for its stanch righteousness and its deep sense of human responsibility; but along with the angels of Puritanism “Satan came also”; and the Satan was a deep suspicion toward plain human happiness. The stage fell under the ban of the church, and it was a sad thing for both. For the theater did become bad, according to the well known law that if you continually call any class of people bad they tend to become so. .and the church was injured because, having taken a false position, it felt bound to stick to it. There is no consistency so terrible as the consistency of those whose profession it is to be good. Fortunately the theater is outgrowing its anath ema. Some church circles still glower, but for the most part society has come to recognize the inherent worthiness of the profession of acting. Mrs. James puts it justly, and not too strong, when she says: “When conventional law \or public opinion denounces as inexpedient what they cannot prove to be wrong, stigmatize what they allow, take delight in what they affect to condemn, what wonder that from such barbarous, such senseless inconsistency, should spring a whole heap of abuses and mistakes! As to the idea that acting, as a profession, is incompatible with female virtue and modesty, it is not merely an insult to the estimable women who hav© adorned and still adorn the stage, but to all womankind. It makes me blush with indignation.” The office seeker would also like to know, exactly where he is at. The Mexican troops were driven into Texas, but Texas has been in such close touch with Mexico from time to time that the experience was probably not very novel.-.* Colonel Roosevelt’s autobiography will sound something like ancient history. Aerogram^ From Antiquity BY EDWARD J. COSTELLO DOWNPATRICK IN ULSTER, Ireland, March 17 (A. D. 1185.)—The body of Patricius Succat, better known as St. Patrick, the revered patron of Ireland, was found here today, buried beneath the church bear ing his name. It was transferred to another part of the same building. The discovery was quite by acci dent, some workmen having made it, but it is said there can be no question as to the remains being those of the great apostle. Just how they came in the church is a mystery, moreover, for report had it that St. Patrick was buried at Saul, near here, after his death, in the latter years of the fifth century. Ireland was not the birthplace of its famous pat ron but many countries claim that distinction. The most authentic story seems to be that he was born in the village called Bonaven Taberniae, probably the town of Kilpatrick, at the mouth of the river Clyde, in Scotland, between Dumbarton and Glasgow. He called himself both a Briton and a Roman, and it was said his father was of good family, named Calphur- nius. Some writers called his mother Conchessa, and said she was niece, to St. Martin of Tours. When he was about sixteen years old, according to writers of the time, St. Patrick was carried off from the farm where he was at work, by pirates, and sold into slavery in Ireland. There his master employed him as a swineherd on the well known mountain of Sleamish, in th© county of Antrim, where he was obliged to tend his flocks in hunger and nakedness, amid snow, rain and ice. Here he passed seven years, acquired a knowledge of th© Irish language, and made himself acquainted with the manners, habits and cus toms of the people. He escaped froip captivity, final ly, and traveled into Gaul and Italy, and was succes sively ordained deacon, priest and bishop, and then once more, with the authority of Pope Celestine, he re turned to Ireland to preach the gospel. The crincipal enemies that St. Patrick found to the introduction of Christianity in Ireland were the Druid- ical priests of th e more ancient faith. Their obstinate antagonsm was very great, but the apostle devoted himself entirely to their salvation. In this disposi tion he traveled over the whole island, penetrating into the remotest corners, and such was the fruit of his preachings and sufferings that he baptized an in finite number of people. He ordained clergymen everywhere. He converted and baptized the kings of Dublin and Munster, and the £even sons of the king of Connaught, with the greatest-part of their subjects, and, before his death, almost everybody on the island. After he h'd spent about twenty years in this mission ary work he is said to have fixed his see at Armagh, about 454. A popular legend has it that St. Patrick drove the venomous snakes from the island. Another is to the effect that when preaching the doctrine of the Trinity to the pagan Irish he used the shamrock, bearing three leaves upon one stem, as a symbol of the great mys tery. Listen to the Dictagraph A man does wonder if he knows all about his own business. Every druggist sells a lot of things whose names he isn’t sure he knows how to pronounce. “Be careful, son,” remarked Grandpa Mintlicker, “about bragging of your family tree. Too much pride in the past is liable to be construed as an apology for the present.” A man’s willingness to get up early depends al most entirely on whether he is going to work or going fishing. “Some day,” remarked the nice old gentleman, “you may he president of the United States.” “Mebbe,” replied the son of the very big business man, “but if they want me they will have to raise the salary.” ' V ' ’ Plant Magic or Science? By Frederic J. Haskin The old song writer who called for “a cherry with* out a stone” can now procure it. The fair lady who sighed for rose^j without thorns and the small boy who wished for thornless blackberry bushes are *nof making unreasonable demands because these objects are now easily obtainable. They have . been brought about through the magiclike science of one man and are trivial matters compared with the many greater attainments in plant ‘development arid production he has been able to bring about. Whether or not Lu ther Burbank is going to fulfill all of the expecta tions of those who are depending upon his ability to make the desert yield a heavy addition to the food supply of the worlA, there is no disputing the many wonderful things he already has done while working quietly and patiently upon his little experiment farm in California. An apple that is sweet on one side and sour on the other, with the color of the skin di viding it into even halves of yellow and red; new wal nut trees \vhich have the possibility of multiplying the lumber production of the country; flowers and fruits of new colors "and increased size, are only a few of the many attainments of this maji who has re ceived worldwide renown as the “plant wizard.” • • • No scientist ever received during his life time more positive and gratifying recognition of his work from the general public as well as from scientific societies than has Mr. Burbank within the past fifteen years. Before that time his work was paved with difficulties as great as those experienced by most other scien tists. He suffered privations of many kinds, and even now is accused by some persons of being a mere charlatan, who, by an adept use of printers' ink, has achieved undue credit for his work. These detractors are comparatively few, however, and the Scientific men are disposed to credit most of the things he claims, while thousands of enthusiastic admirers are perhaps exaggerating his attainments and giving him credit for work partially accomplished by other plant breeders. v . • . Burbank’s work is based entirely upon scientific principles. He has no secrets and each of his results he is able to demonstrate in a thoroughly lucid man ner. While he has been pronounced the greatest plant breeder the world has ever produced, he Introduced no special Innovations in t..e methods discovered by Dr. Joachim Camerius, of Leipsic, who demonstrated the sexuality of plants. in 1691. It was the recognition of this principle which made possible the process of hybridization. The first plant hybrid was produced in 1719 by Thomas Fairchild, an English gardener, who crossed the sweetwllliam with the carnation. Another Englishman. Thomas Henry Knight, has been called the father of plant breeding. His work extended until 1838, and was based upon the scientific principles rec ognized J>y Darwin and his followers. In all thrf achievements of Luther Burbank there has been no radical departure from the method3 of these earlier men. Burbank’s genius lies in his wonderful patience and the magnitude of his experiments. The breeding of plants like the breeding of animals is dependent upon crossing, or the securing of new individual prog eny from parents of distinct species. Mutations or changed forms spring up generally from unknown causes as, for instance, wnen a colored flower yields white blossoms. These mutations can be produced at will by a careful study of their products as Luther Burbank demonstrated when, by taking a yellow poppy upon which he noticed some crimson lines, he in creased its red in other generations, by selection, until he has now been able to produce a field of crimson popppies In place of the golden Eschscholtzla which grows wild in such luxuriance in California. ... It is doubtful if any scientist ever has given to the world products of greater practical value than are some of those which are credited to Luther Burbank.* His first effort was towards the improvement of the potato; to secure this he made his first great sacri fices. Thirty-five years ago potatoes were round, comparatively small and most of them red-skinned. Now these old-fashioned potatoes are difficult to find. The whole world raises the Burbank potato which is long in shape, white skinned and several times the size of the old-fashioned tuber. In his work for the improvement of the potato Burbank accom plished three things of universal benefit: He in creased its size; multiplied the number which could be produced In a single hiil, and improved the quality and flavor. According to an estimate made by the department of agriculture the Burbank improved po tato is adding more thin . $17,000,000 annually to the output of the country. It Is as well known abroad as at home, and a careful estimate gives the sum of $600,000,000 as the value which it has added during thirty years to the farm incomes of the world. ... So great has been the decrease in the production of walnut trees that their extinction seems threatened and the supply of black walnut lumber Is practically exhausted. Now Burbank Is offering to the lumber men a new walnut tree which possesses wonderful advantages over the old. The old black walnut tree was slow of growth. It took at least twenty years under good conditions to produce a tree twenty-five feet high and eighteen inches in circumference. The new Burbank walnut tree in seventeen years will reach a height of eighty feet and a circumference of eighty inches. At a cost of $2 a tree for planting, this new walnut in ten years will yield a lumber value of $3,000 an acre. It is a fine grained, hard wood capable of taking a high polish in finishing. It is lighter in shade than the old walnut', more nearly resembling mahogany. • * • The results which Burbank obtains have been brought about by the large number of plants he has under ob servation in making a study, permitting him a wide range of selection. Instead of having a few square feet of ground or a new plant in pots, he uses acres of ground, if necessary, in making a single test. In stead of half a dozen or 5,000 plants in making a giv en test, he may have a millllon, all of them similar. Out of this million he may, perhaps, save only one in the last sifting, but that one will be the best of all, The rest are all likely to be destroyed by huge bon fires which clear the ground for other plants.
